Cotter Smith: Asa Turnbull

Quotes 

• Colonel Glenn Turnbull : Every Marine in Afghanistan is some mother's son or daughter. How can I single out my kid for special treatment? If I stall, and Richard Barnwright slips out of our sights, what do I say to the parents of those Marines that he kills?

  Asa Turnbull : This is what people do, Glenn. They keep their kids safe.

  Colonel Glenn Turnbull : I am a colonel in the U.S. Marines. I can't do what people do. If this uniform doesn't mean something now, when does it ever mean anything?

  Asa Turnbull : If you go through with this, and our son dies... I don't know how you live with yourself.
